Abstract
The extracts of the root of R. stricta growing wild in U.A.E. showed an antimicrobial activity. Using chromatographic techniques strictanol, tetrahydro secamine, akuammidine and rhazimanine were isolated. Their structure were elucidated using spectroscopic analysis techniques (including MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR). The antimicrobial activity of the isolated alkaloids and their MIC were determined.
